We often use key text fields for simple strings in our content. Today we came across an issue where we store HTML for an email template (the Rich Text field doesn't provide enough of the formatting we use so it cannot be used in this instance). We have some placeholders in that email template for v…

Hello everyone, we released a fix for this issue. If you don't see it reflected on your repository yet, please send us a message with the URL of your repository so we can manually. Thanks

Hello @frstie , thanks for reaching out. Is this happening inside the documents of your Prismic repository or your application? Could you show me a visual example? A screenshot or screen recording. Thanks
